The knife blade is 10"+ long the handle is made from a mold cast the hilt is a grave stone with a snake passing through a wreath, it is estimated to be from the napoleon era during the dark ages my father purchased an entire gun collection from a gentleman who would not part with the knife alone, he sold off the guns which got him the knife and put him back in my mothers good grace's over 60 years ago. The cloaked skeleton has incredible detail all the way down to the teeth in the mouth,and the backbone and legs.

Hmmm... Jeff you are correct on the picture of the picture That picture was taken by a proffesional photographer for my dad, my father promissed it to my older brother in his will, my brother retired 10 years ago and has the knife with him, I in return I was willed a colonial musket which hung over our fireplace growing up that musket belonged to my ancester from Acton Mass Simmion Weatherby who was called to service to fight the British at the start of the revolution at the bridge in Concorcd Mass The knife was shown to the author of the knife digest and had used the photo in the book under the fantasy knife section with credit to him Robert G Fillmore 20 years ago my father died in 1990 he turned down an offer to sell that would have purchased one bark river knife for every model in all the series. Hmmm...

It was a Bernard Levine book guide to knives and knife values, my brother stopped by his home several years ago and showed him the knife first hand. He enjoyed it seeing it other than the picture which was in his book and the one I posted.

I'd still be interested in buying it, if you ever decide to part with it.
